Ingredients:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature. This will ensure a smooth and creamy frosting.
- Beat the Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Vanilla and Salt: Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the Powdered Sugar: With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until fully incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy about 3-4 minutes.
- Use or Store: Use the frosting immediately to decorate your favorite baked goods, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using it if stored.
